 * My visual editor is gone. The tab is there – but nothing else – and I cannot 
   even click into the dialogue box.
 * I have a clean install of Wp 3.8.1 and a clean install of the Avada theme 3.3.1.
 * I am using NO plugins.
 * Chrome is attempting, and failing, to load two js files that are not in the WP
   download:
 * wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/en.js
 * and
 * wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/langs/en.js
 * I renamed the first file from wp-includes/js/tinymce/langs/wp-langs-en.js so 
   that it would work and then uploaded a new directory with the same file into 
   wp-includes/js/tinymce/themes/advanced/langs/ …
 * This seems bizarre. I have many other wordpress sites and I have not had this
   problem before – any solution, other than messing with the core files like I 
   have?
 * Thanks!

 * Quite bizarre – we have code that works on an internal dev server just fine, 
   but the visual editor dies a 404 death when deployed to our Stage or production
   servers. This was also a clean install of 3.8.1

 * There might be any server side restriction to render any script.
 * You may check that by enabling Firebug, a Firefox addon.

 * Most likely a javascript conflict with your theme if you really are running no
   plugins.
